DANFFOR product offering
Product offeringCore offering
DANFFOR distributes, integrates and services industrial marking, coding and traceability equipment for manufacturers. The portfolio spans laser markers, micropercussion markers and scoring markers, complemented by barcode readers, fixed industrial scanners, industrial artificial vision cameras, and proprietary process-control tools (SafePilote, Wattpilote). The company also delivers installation, preventive maintenance, repair, technical audits, CE marking consulting, training and accessories for the installed base.
Product overview
DANFFOR is a Spanish industrial marking, coding, and traceability solutions provider based in Eibar, Gipuzkoa. The company operates as a distributor and integrator of industrial marking technologies rather than a manufacturer, reselling and integrating products from manufacturers like Datalogic and Gravotech. The core product portfolio comprises three industrial marking technology lines: laser markers (CO2, fiber, UV), micropercussion markers, and scribe/engraving markers, each suited for different materials and industrial environments. Complementing the marking systems, DANFFOR offers data capture solutions including barcode readers, fixed industrial scanners (notably the Datalogic MATRIX series), and industrial artificial vision cameras for quality inspection and object verification. The company also provides tool control systems (SafePilote for vibration monitoring and Wattpilote for tool wear measurement) and comprehensive services including CE marking consulting, installation, preventive maintenance, repairs, operator training, and technical support. The product ecosystem is unified around industrial traceability, enabling customers to mark, identify, read, and verify products throughout the production and supply chain lifecycle.
